‘T’-Cut or ‘Colour Cut’ both available from car spare shops or garages are products originally designed to remove traffic film and grime from the paint work of your car before the application of a protective waxpolish.Having removed all waterline deposits, mop the bath dry, then apply ‘T’-Cut generously and vigorously with a large soft cloth made into a pad. Polish off with a similar large soft cloth.

2. How should I keep an acrlyic bath clean?

You are informed by most Acrylic bath manufacturers that all yourbath requires is a wipe round with warm soapy water to maintain itsoriginal condition. Perfectly true - in an ideal world, but it doesn’toften work out like that. Certain members of the family don’t seemto be able to remember to rinse and wipe the bath round after use!In some areas the water is very hard producing heavy deposits roundthe water line which can be very persistent. In soft water areas thewater is often discoloured presenting problems of a different nature.The waxy soapy lime deposits which build up so insidiously aroundand below the water line making your bath look dull and unkempt donot readily respond to soap and water or proprietory detergents -and you are probably already aware that abrasive cleanersare not to be employed under any circumstances.The most effective way to remove these deposits is with the use of a‘Polypropylene’ pan scourer - the type that looks like a loose ball ofwool, but which contains no abrasive material. Polypropylene is softerthan Acrylic and so it will not affect the bath surface.

3. I've scratched/chipped my bath. Can it be fixed?

The infinite repairability of Acrylic referred to earlier applies particularlyto baths formed from heavy gauge 8mm cast Acrylic since there isobviously much more material to work with.If your bath is accidentally damaged, i.e. chipped or scratched, in mostcases it can be satisfactorily repaired depending to some extent on theposition and depth of the damage. Sometimes the problem cannot becompletely eliminated but can be reduced to a mere speck.

4. What else should I know?

The household products that will damage your Acrylic bath are fewand fairly obvious. eg.1. Bleach i.e. Domestos, Parazone.2. Nail Varnish Remover - Acetone.3. Paint Stripper4. Dry Cleaning Fluid - Tricoethylene.5. Undiluted ‘Dettol’ will attack the surface of Acrylic if left for along time. However it may be used freely in the bath water formedical purposes without any ill effect.6. Avoid the use of Abrasive Powders If these products areused inadvertently the dulled surface can soon be restored in themanner described earlier.7. Remember to run the cold water first, particularly if youhave a solid fuel hot water system which cannot be controlled bya thermostat.Acrylic softens at about160-180°C but therepeated onslaught of nearboiling water on thesame spot will eventuallycause distortion anddiscolouration (Fading).

Decorated Sanitary Ware

1. Do you supply discontinued decorated sanitaryware?

Many companies who once produced floral or geometric bathroom designs on their top-of-the-range bathroom suites have ceased production or closed all together.

Discontinued Bathrooms is able to refire new bathroom suites in many decors from the past.

If we do not have a particular sanitary ware design in the correct colour you require we are able to change the colour of pottery be refiring items into one of our kilns.

Items are cleaned and over sprayed with the appropriate glaze, then placed in one of our kilns to be refired.

The firing cycle is approx 3 hours reaching a maximum 120 degrees centigrade. This process is much the same as when originally fired. Once cooled, the basins, toilets and other pieces are unloaded checked and despatched to our London warehouse.
